What does “similar proportion to the whole school population” in the student enrollment requirement mean?

Innovation Career Pathways programs prioritize students underrepresented in higher education and high skill/high demand industries – low-income students, students of color, English language learners, students with disabilities and potential first-generation college-goers. The program should be designed and structured to recruit these students and eliminate barriers to their participation. An analysis of the demographics of the school’s pathway(s) should reveal that enrollment in the designated Innovation Career Pathway(s) “mirrors” the demographics of the overall school population.
